Bright fuchsia yoga jacket from Lucy. I purchased this around Valentine’s day when Lucy’s had 25% off anything pink. Like the turquoise yoga jacket, it has thumb slots, which are so awesome for keeping your hands warm after a workout.

Cabi chocolate brown faux fur. I got this at the Cabi outlet store in Woodburn for something like 80% off. This jacket and I have not had any memorable moments together, so we’re parting ways. My daughter loves it, so I’m passing it her way.

Kristen Blake black wool jacket. This jacket/coat has always been a bit large on me even though it’s a size XS. Great for layering over a bulky sweater. It has been to the dry cleaners more times than I can remember, and I’m thinking it is ready to retire after this season.

By Sigrid Olsen. A Nordstrom sale jacket. I didn’t choose this one, it chose me. It screamed my name as I tried to walk by. It’s a bit slouchy and comfortable, and maybe a bit more like a sweater than a jacket or coat. It has a turquoise lining, which adds a nice touch when left unbuttoned.

This unique wool embroidered jacket was purchased by my husband last Christmas. He has good taste! It’s from a little store on NW 23rd Avenue in Portland called Dazzle. He also purchased the scarf, which matches it very nicely.

Reversible raincoat from Coldwater Creek. I’ve never worn it on it’s reversible side, which as you can see is another animal print. A good lightweight jacket to have when you want to wear a hat or carry an umbrella since it doesn’t have a hood.

I needed to replace some of my worn out workout jackets recently. Everyone deserves a workout reward or two, right? This one is from Lucy. They were having a 25% off all blue jackets day. I especially like the thumb slots and the color.

Green silk embroidered jacket by Da-Nang. I found this at the Goodwill in Portland on 10th and Taylor. I haven’t found many places to wear it, but I’m thinking it needs to attend an art opening or something.

This jacket is by Christopher Blue. Chocolate brown, copper buttons and faux sheepskin fur trim. I found this at one of my favorite clothing stores, Syzygy, which is located in the Oregon coastal town of Manzanita. I rarely go in there without finding something I must have.

Eddie Bauer safari jacket. I bought this for our trip to The Galapagos last summer. It seemed like an essential item for the trip. It packs very well, is lightweight and doesn’t easily wrinkle. I channel Osa Johnson when I wear this jacket.

This is a Nordstrom Classiques Entier jacket (or coat). Faux leopard with orange lining and rhinestone buttons. I couldn't resist this one, and it followed me home a couple of years ago. Essential for holiday parties and fun.
